wears she was saleswoman in the
store of A. Morrison, of Indianapolis.
While here she was introduced to
Young English in January, 1886. She
was then boarding in a small family
hotel in that city. She alleges that he
visited the store daily, paying her
attention, cscorting her home from
work, to places of amusement, etc.
That ne professed a great love for her
and called on her ut her home. That
his attentions became matter OF pub
lie notoriety and it was generally
believed they were engaged. She
charges that in July, 1885, on one OF
his visits, after retiring he
locked the door. That she begged
hin, TO open il and let her out but he
refused. She charges that he then as
sailed her criminally. She alleges
that through fear OF disgrace and ex-
posure she did not make public the Of
fense, but refused to again see him.
Subsequently she says, she informed
him of her condition and alleges that
he took her. to a physician and had an
abortion performed. She claims that
English promised to make amends
by marrying her and that he
threatened to kill her in case she mar
ried any one else. She was obliged to
leave her position and asserts that he
has since supported her. a few days
ago, she SAYS, he sent her 500 to pay
certain expenses. On December LIST
she removed to the city. He refused
to marry her. She sues for damages
to the amount of $4,000. She ap-
piled for arrest to compel English to
furnish bonds to appear.

Terrible Accident.

EAsToN, Pa, Feb. GA deplorable
accident occurred this afternoon on
the Lehigh Valley railroad, about two
miles above this city, by which six
boys, whose ages ranged from IL to 15
years, were killed. The unfortunate
youths were Walker Moon, Walker
Heith, Willie Pearcc, Jno. Gregg,
Chas. Bonstcin and Manning Garvis,
all of Easton. They had been out
hunting muskrats and were walking
on the railroad track on their way
home. A coal train bearing down on
them the boys stepped to an opposite
track, when they We're struck by Il
fast passenger train and were
horribly mangled and killed.
There were seven in the
party, six Of them were struck by the
engine and thrown either between the
tracks or against the side of the coal
train. Harry Pearcc was struck by
his brother and knocked from the
track uninjured. After falling he
jumped to his feet, caught hold of his
dead brother, shook him and said
"Wake up. What are you lying here
for?" He then saw his brothers hor-
ribly mangled head and burst into hys-
terics. By this time the passenger
train was stopped and backed up to
where the bodies lay. Manning Gar
Wis was still alive, but died after he
and his dead companions arrived here.
All the bodies were placed in
small building near the Easton de-
pot to await the arrival of the coroner.
The skulls of the boys were crushed
and mangled. One OF the boys had
one arm and both legs broken II was
II horrible sight to see the six boys
lying in the road. AS they were
gazed upon by large crowd OF people
tears filled the eyes Oi the bystanders.
Engineer Monroe Music, who was run
ming the passenger train, said; II left
Bethleham seven minutes late and
was running at reduced speed on ac-
count of a binding snow storm which
prevented me from seeing anything on
the track. knew nothing about the
accident until my fireman called to
me to stop"

they have cost the company VS. apiece.
The American management has been
very careful and enterprisinn and has
fostered the seals, only killing the
most valuable ones, and leaving ample
seed for replenishment. The company
OF recent years has had to contend
against large numbers OF nitates. Year
before last these pirates, in violation OF
law, took 1900 Alaska scalskins.
The names OF these marauders were
all furnished to our state department.
One schooner called the Lookout took
11.OO0 skins 10 Victoria; smother, the
Mary Ellen, took 1900. Last year
these pirates OF our waters got as
many as 10000 fur seals, bvsides shoot
ing a great Mahy of
the animals. The United
States will soon be destitute of fur
seals, ana will lose revenue Of $780,
600 a year. There is no otbet solution
OF this question IL the government is
going to forward Mr.. Bayard's lead
and set free ships fitted for no other
business than to prey Upon those
grounds and waters. DI. Mcintyre,
who lives on the Seal JalAnds, says
tnat aC least Htteen Vessels ArS regular
ly employed to steal these skins; and
that they are manned BY 700 men.
During the present season about 5O,-
600 fur seals have been taken in viola
ton of law by these veseela, mainly
from Victoria, British Columbia. Since
Mr.. Bayard let the maraudets so, ex-
petitions are being got up in large
numbers for very extensive raid on
the seal fisheries next season., There
fore, while we are being bullied on the
one hand by the Canadians in the
fishery grounds of New Foundland
and Cape Breton and Nova Scotia, we
are tamely surrendering old and thor
oughly secured rights on the Pacific to
parties who know that they have not
the shadow of defense. We keep Il
revenue cutter, the Corwjh, and she
captured the three vessels, w related,
and the courts did their duty; but the
state department has not considered
the subject worth standing ppon."--

WASHINGTON NOTES.
EXTRA SESSION PROBABLE.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-Despite the
wish Of the president and OF members
in both houses of congress to avoid
the necessity for calling session Of
the two houses for special business Of
the senate the opinion is entertained
to-day that matters in respect to the
appropriation bills are rapidly drift.
ing into position, If indeed they have
not already reached it, which makes u
called session inevitable. Allison says
that neither the senate or its commit
tee on appropriations Is in any way re-
sponsible. A member of the senate
appropriation committee declares his
belief that it will be impossible during
the remainder of the days OF the ses-
sion to finish the appropriation bills.
The matter of appointments and con-
firmations contributes to the influences
which may produce II called session.
Opinions respecting the presidents
power to appoint interstate commerce
commissioners during recess of the
senate are widely variant. Edmunds,
Pugh, Harris and other senators OF
prominence declare without qualifica.
ton that the president has no shadow
of constitutional or legal right to fill
the Office recently created when the
senate is not in session to give its adj
vice and consent, and that his power
in the matter is limited to filling va
temporarily which may hap
pen during recess, 1t is held that
should he do 50 they could not qualify,
draw their salarief or legally perform

FLYING FROM DANGER.


LONDON, Feb. 26.--Monte Carlo, it
is found, suffered from the effects OF
the shocks of Wednesday less than
any other place. Scientists say this
is owing to the fact that Monte Carlo
is built on rock. Houses there are
crowded to the utmost limit by the
sudden and enormous rush to the city
of thousands of pleasure seekers
frightened away from Riverie and
especially from Cannes, Nice, Mentore
and San Romo, which were thronged
with visitors when the earthquakes
came. The weather ut Monte Carlo
is beautiful. Refugees from the shat
tered towns who have recovered from
the fright are making the most of it.
The harbor is filled with yachts. An
enormous influx of fugitives from
Riverie invaded Marseilles, and hotels
and lodging houses are crowded.
Eight thousand persons arrived Thurs
day and Friday.
RECOVERING.
LONDON, Feb. 26.--The theatre ut
Nice reopened tonight. Concerts
were resumed in public gardens. The
college has been re-opened. All timid
persons remain cncamped outside the
city. Large crevices have developed
in the cemetery ut Mentone since the
earthquake. The cupola Of the cathc-
dral and the vault of the white peni-
tents have fallen. r-. ....'
